Maryknoll High School

Honolulu, Hawaii

After two centuries of sleep, Mr. Liberty awakens
in a place called Maryknoll High School and
realizes that the country whose creation he had
just witnessed is now celebrating its 200th
birthday. Looking around and seeing that
everything has changed, he wonders if that
old-fashioned spirit that had shaped the
country has survived through time.

In this bicentennial year,
MR. L IB E R T Y S E T S OUT TO DISCOVER

THE S P IR IT OF AMERICA.

Acquaintance Week

Beginning

Together

What better way to start the school year
rolling than by having a week of fun and

games? Along with the traditional
upperclassmen's gift-giving to the
frosh, the Spirit Committee livened

Rogers Hall each lunch hour with
activities that spurred on the Spartan

spirit. From Monday to Friday, divi­
sional competition raged on. The week's

highlight was watching the faculty do
the Hokey Pokey. Friday evening gave

the Class of '79 their first taste of a
high school boogie. Thus, together
we began.

Aloha Week

A Celebration of

Hawaii’s Cultures

With the stage decorated as the palace
grounds and the court dressed in the

royal attire of the 1880's, the Aloha
Week program reflected the reign of King

Kalakaua. The theme was to celebrate
Hawaii's uniqueness in this bicenten­
nial year by presenting the different
ethnic groups in song and dance. Along
with traditional favorites such as the

Tahitian dancers who persuade young
men from the audience to join in the
fun, were performers representing China,
Japan, the Philippines, America, and

the Polynesian Islands.

The spirit of the holiday season shone
forth as each division gave a fine per­

formance in the annual Battle of the
Choirs. This year's winners, the Class
of '77, presented a mini story about a

toymaker whose dolls come alive. The
other divisions, with teddy bears and
reindeer, made the competition tough.
For hours after, Rogers Hall rang with

the melody of yuletide carols.

December’s

Child

An annual event that has always been met

mas vacation. This year it was held at
the Moana Surfrider and for the first

time, students were allowed to go stag,
giving all the "free spirits" a chance
to get in on the fun. The beautiful
favors will serve as a remembrance of
the night we danced to "Child of
December"...

Rogers Hall was filled in anxious anti­

basketball teams were introduced. They
received a round of applause to show the
audience's appreciation for a fantastic
season. The three pep squads combined,
arousing even more spirit from the

Homecoming

The Year of

the Spartans

The 1976 Basketball Homecoming was the
most overwhelming proof of our Spartan

Spirit. Hours of work went into the
preparation of the original and unique

floats. All were outstanding. Each
respective division followed the theme-

"The Year of the Spartans". A written
explanation was required explaining each
float's meaning. The Alumni Association,

the Booster Club, and the PT6 donated a
perpetual homecoming trophy which was
awarded to this year's Seniors, for

their float honoring the various sports
and athletes, Homecoming '76 was truly
special as the Spartans showed that it
was their year.

Gathering
To Share

A special schedule usually meant an
assembly. They ranged in subject matter
from holiday celebrations to the demon­
stration of a synthesizer. Each assembly
varied greatly from the next. They were
put together by students and always with

their fellow classmates' enjoyment in
mind. Collectively, our assemblies pro­
vided a time for us to gather and share

information, experiences, and fun.

Packers Win

Their First

After 26 straight games of famine in
the ILH, Pac-Five made its first-ever
ILH victory a 35-9 feast yesterday at

the expense of Damien.

Moevao made Swiss cheese out of the
league's best pass defense in connecting

on 14-of-23 passes for four touchdowns,
two conversions and 207 yards. That
performance made him the ILH passing

champ despite playing only half the sea­
son at the position.

"The kids wanted this one. They felt
they had the last one (a 14-12 Damien
win) taken away from them in the last
seconds. They had something to prove,"

Coach Don.Botelho said.

The offensive line led by Steve Isono,
Pat Chong, Raymond Yoshida, Robert Duna­

way and Ben Sialega, proved their su­
periority in the trenches, opening holes

for Ulukita Ulukita (eight carries,100
yards) and giving Moevao time to pass.

The defense, keyed by Sialega, James
Kuwada, Dunaway and Steve Hansen, didn't

give Damien time to set up its passing
attack and forced four fumbles.

Damien again changed its defense al­
lowing the Packers more room for the
pass and Moevao went crazy, hitting 10-
of-14 for 160 second half yards and Td
tosses to Taunuu Lolotai (10 yards),
Murakami (33 yards) and Matt Chun (18

yards).

In Halawa Valley stands magnificent

commemorated their third year of parti­

feating Mililani, Kapaa High, and Lahai-
naluna during the pre-season, the
Packers had a bright outlook and antici­
pated a good season. Although the games
resulted in close defeats the Packers
were never discouraged and strived even
harder to do their best.

Spartans Spike to
Class ‘A’ Championship

The varsity boys' volleyball team, of

which mere than half of the players

were seniors, set it up and spiked it

Ii in for the winning combination. They
participated in a pre-season tourna­

ment without too much success. But in

ILH competition, even before the sea­

son ended, they had claimed the Class

A championship. Without a doubt, it was

their overpowering slams and quick

thinking that gave them win after win.

Class ‘A’ Title

Is a First

After narrowly missing the champion­
ship last year, the varsity girls'
volleyball team for the first time ever
took the Class A championship of 1975.
Under second year coach Bellinger and
with only four returnees, all of whom
were on the starting lineup, they
showed exceptional style and perform­
ance. Their unending effort and spirit
were the keys to success.

Spares and

For the JV boys, it was a year of
learning and growing. Talent and skill

were present in this young team that
lacked the necessary experience.

With old veterans at the game and four
starters averaging over 160, the boys'
varsity bowlers gave the top schools a

run for the round robin.
